Subject: March 2010 Solid Waste Program Activity ReDort<br />
The following unexhausted list of Solid Waste Program activities were performed during<br />
the month of March 2010.<br />
• The Kendall County Board approved the 5-year update to the County’s Solid<br />
Waste Plan on March 08, 2010. The plan was submitted to the IEPA on<br />
March 19, 2010.<br />
• Five waste hauling companies are presently licensed to collect residential<br />
waste on a weekly basis. Annual licensing fees collected for 2010 total<br />
$1,525. The 5 licensed waste haulers collected over 84% of the waste in<br />
2009. The following waste haulers are listed in order of volume collected<br />
(from highest to lowest): Groot Industries, Allied Waste, Veolia<br />
Environmental Services, Complete Sanitation and Waste Management.<br />
• Marlin Hartman appeared on WAUR Channel 30’s “Fox Valley Today” on<br />
March 16, 2010 to address the County’s freshly updated Solid Waste Plan.<br />
During the show, Marlin discussed the importance and merits of electronic<br />
recycling, yard waste mulching and composting, and overall efforts needed to<br />
achieve the County’s newly established recycling goal of 45% (currently<br />
reaching 38°o).<br />
• Waste hauler and recycler reports have been received and tabulated for the<br />
year 2009. The following is key information (*2008 data):<br />
o 98,600 tons of waste were collected (*85,800 tons)<br />
o 32,300 tons were recycled or composted, 37.68% (*37.93%).<br />
o Seventeen (17) waste hauling and recycling companies reported<br />
quantities in 2009.<br />
o Our waste stream: residential 49% (*57%), commercial 36% (*16%)<br />
Construction and Demolition 15% (*26%).<br />
o Commercial waste increased from 13,000 tons to 34,000 tons and<br />
